"And We did not send before you except men to whom We revealed, so ask the people of the Reminder," saying it to the polytheists, "if you do not know." And the people of the Reminder are: Abdullah ibn Salam and his companions who embraced Islam; according to the tafsir of Al-Suddi.
﴿وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ إِلا رِجَالا نُوحِي إِلَيْهِمْ فَاسْأَلُوا أَهْلَ الذّكر﴾ يَقُولُهُ لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ ﴿إِنْ كُنْتُمْ لَا تعلمُونَ﴾ وَأَهْلُ الذِّكْرِ: عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلامٍ، وَأَصْحَابُهُ الَّذِينَ أَسْلَمُوا؛ فِي تَفْسِير السّديّ.
